It was great spending time with our partners Betty Robey and Sherry Gustafson of Saltwater Grande last week. Our conversation was inspiring, revelatory, and thought provoking all while being a whole lot of fun. These two women have created a really special brand and we look forward to what is on the horizon for them. If you are in need of vacation rental management services, or vacation rental accommodations, in the Myrtle Beach area look no further than Saltwater Grande!
There is always something to learn, we've often said there is no Ph.D. in vacation rentals. If you want to run a hotel, you go to Cornell, if you want a vacation rental group, you go to the school of hard knocks. Meet Betty & Sherry from Saltwater Grande in Myrtle Beach. At our partner summit this year, they felt humbled being in a room with partners that had anywhere from 50 to 800 properties. If you looked around that room, I reminded them not one is an expert in everything, we're all throwing mud against the wall the same way but everyone has a Ph.D in something. This past Friday, we got to sit down for lunch and talk shop. I had more Aha moments, taking rigorous notes, thinking that would be good for partners to know and that would be good, etc, etc. I left with more ideas than I provided, that is for sure. So I'm reminded, there is no Ph.D. in the vacation space, just a lot to learn as we begin another conference season. Its often the quietest in the room whom has the most to teach. So thank you ladies, I feel like buying lunch was far too an easy for the playbook you taught!

With award-winning beaches, history, a vibrant arts scene, and celebrated restaurants, Anna Maria Island and Sarasota offer something for everyone. We are thrilled to partner with Andrew Houghton and the team at Mainsail Vacation Rentals (Mainsail Lodging & Development). Their curated selection of vacation rental properties is live with The 100 Collection. A hotelier by trade, Andrew lives and breathes hospitality. After working in the hotel business his entire life, including for Marriott in sales, marketing, and corporate roles across nine countries and four continents, Andrew retired. But he couldn’t stay away from hospitality for long. Just a day into retirement, Andrew dove back in – this time into the vacation rental industry. Along with a longtime business partner, Andrew started Mainsail Vacation Rentals on Anna Maria Island and neighboring towns in the Sarasota area. Over the last three years, Andrew’s business has bought and developed land, operated hotels, and managed corporate housing and vacation rentals with an unwavering dedication to preserving the quiet confidence and authentic Florida experience that make Anna Maria Island and Sarasota so special. A team of professional hoteliers with hospitality backgrounds, Mainsail approaches everything through that lens. They’re a local company that nurtures close relationships with the community in a way that benefits both local businesses and guests. They don’t just recommend a dolphin tour – they know the captain who keeps his boat in their basin, they work to protect his livelihood, and in turn, he treats their guests like family. With an eye for design and an understanding of practicality, Andrew’s team transforms properties into the ultimate vacation experience. Whether young families and professionals looking for something unique, or guests looking for a more traditional beach home, Mainsail Vacation Rentals crafts an authentic American coastal experience they won’t soon forget. Thank you for your partnership and welcome to the collection!

Known for its stunning natural scenery and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, Big Sky, Montana is a year-round destination. We are proud to partner with Adam Farr and his team at Ascend Properties . Their curated selection of vacation rental properties is live with The 100 Collection. Adam was working at a hotel in Spokane, Washington when someone called looking for a valet manager. Before he knew it, he was driving to Big Sky, Montana to work at the exclusive Yellowstone Club, and less than one year later, he had transitioned into property management. Adam spent eleven years there, overseeing the Property Management, Rental Home Program, and Housekeeping departments for an impressive collection of over 325 luxury homes, including 145 vacation rentals. But Adam had always fostered an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to start his own business. In 2019, Adam decided to pursue his dream and founded his own property management company. He used the wealth of knowledge and experience he gained during his years at the Yellowstone Club to build Ascend Properties. Their mission? To be the premier rental home and property management company in Big Sky. And Adam strives to uphold that mission every day, working tirelessly to provide exceptional customer service along with his team of all full-time year-round employees – something that most other property management companies can’t say they have. Adam’s team is extremely responsive, with someone always answering the phone at all hours. Starting with just one home, Adam and his team have built an incredible company from the ground up, growing organically to 65 properties. When you speak with Adam, his love for Big Sky comes through immediately, as well as a deep level of expertise when it comes to hospitality and the community he loves. When he’s not working, you’ll find Adam raising his family with his wife and business partner, Hannah, coaching high school football, and enjoying the endless outdoor adventures in Big Sky. Thank you for your partnership and welcome to the collection!

If you’ve been dreaming of a city bursting with creative energy and an authentic, friendly vibe, you’ll love Music City – also known as Nashville, Tennessee. We are proud to partner with Darbi Bolton and Teryn Chapin and their team at Stay Local Nashville, Inc. Their curated selection of vacation rental homes is live with The 100 Collection. Some of the best things in life happen by accident, and Stay Local Nashville is no exception. When realtor Darbi asked her colleague Teryn to refer someone specializing in vacation rentals, she had no idea it would lead to the creation of Nashville’s largest locally owned management company with over 170 homes. But that’s exactly what happened. Teryn, who had a vacation home of her own, suggested that she and Darbi go into business together, managing vacation rentals themselves. Over a pitcher of margaritas, Stay Local Nashville was born. Today, the female-owned company has its own impressive laundry facility, an amazing local staff, and does 800-1000 checkouts a month – when it’s slow. Incredibly involved in every aspect of their homes, from cleaning and inspecting to maintenance, guest bookings, and marketing, you’ll never find a company that’s more hands-on and reachable. Darbi and Teryn pride themselves on their team culture. With team parties and events every quarter – like city-wide scavenger hunts – they really make their company feel like family. And they have the same mentality with owners. They like to say that if they wouldn’t do brunch with you, they won’t manage your home – leading to genuine relationships with homeowners, staff, and guests. When they’re not working, you’ll find Darbi biking along Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Teryn chauffeuring her kids or enjoying appetizers before a live show, soaking in all that Nashville has to offer. Thank you for your partnership and welcome to the collection!

Dreaming of a quintessential Carolina summer beach vacation? Look no further than Holden Beach, NC, which is often referred to as "The Family Beach." We are thrilled to have Holden Beach represented in The 100 Collection by Hobbs Realty Vacations and Rachele Hobbs. After living all over the world, Rachele and her family ultimately settled in Holden Beach. It was there that Rachele met her husband, Jimmy Hobbs, and married into the family business. After promising his wife a beach house, Jimmy’s father recruited his children to finally build one in 1977. But when the home was just halfway to completion, someone offered to buy it. When the same thing happened a second time – and a third – Hobbs Realty was born. Time and time again, owners approached the Hobbs family asking them to take care of their properties, and just as they built and sold houses one by one, they also began managing vacation rentals one by one. What began as building and selling a single home more than 45 years ago developed into a premier property management company managing around 200 homes with extensive local knowledge and passion for Holden Beach. A true family business, Hobbs Realty now spans three generations, with Rachele at the helm as CEO. Committed to time-honored traditions and going the extra “smile,” Rachele’s team – which includes all of her children and almost every son- and daughter-in-law – has helped generations of families own property in Holden Beach and have incredible vacation experiences. While Rachele sets the vision, it’s the team that makes things so special, creative, and thoughtful for every guest and homeowner. Rachele and her family have been part of the Holden Beach community for generations – they know their product, understand their guests, and work hard to make every vacation memorable. And with a passion for working with local vendors, they truly support the community they love while providing a personalized experience for their guests. When you stay with Rachele’s team – her family – you know you’re in good hands. Thank you for your partnership and welcome to the collection!

Bend, Oregon is known for its magnificent scenery, award winning breweries, and abundant sunshine. We are thrilled to partner with Arrived and Jennifer Mucha, and are excited to have the Paradise of the Cascades represented in The 100 Collection! Twenty years ago, Jennifer was a real estate appraiser with a vacation rental property in Sunriver, Oregon. After owning that property for just six months, Jennifer discovered that she could provide the attention to detail that existing companies in the area lacked. And once she began managing the property herself, it seemed that everyone wanted her to manage theirs as well. Jennifer spent the next ten years turning homeowners away – bringing on properties one by one, growing slowly and organically, and learning from the ground up. She knew from the start that she wanted to be different from everyone else out there, with high-touch hospitality and an echelon level of service. Since its origin as a single home in 2004, Arrived has grown to include 75 properties in its home base of Bend. Even with a large number of properties, Arrived maintains the feel of a boutique company, with on-site local teams and in-house maintenance. Jennifer’s team is comprised of individuals who have been with the company for years, dedicated to providing service that’s a notch above the rest from beginning to end. Throughout all of their locations, the same ideal drives each team – to provide genuine hospitality that results in happy guests and happy owners. Thank you for your partnership and welcome to the collection!

Did you know? We have another pineapple on the map in Utah! We are proud to partner with Abode Luxury Rentals and Rachel Alday and Rob Alday. Their curated selection of properties in Park City, UT is live with The 100 Collection! Fifteen years ago, Rachel Alday and her husband Rob owned a second home in Deer Valley. As owners themselves, they saw a lack of ultra-high-end service for vacation rentals in the area – companies who said they were offering the extras were really missing the mark. And that’s when their boutique luxury vacation rental company, Abode Luxury Rentals, was born. With a mission to provide high-touch, hotel-level concierge services to discerning guests staying at Park City’s most exclusive vacation homes, Rachel’s team crafts personalized experiences that go beyond luxury. Whether it’s pre-stocking groceries, snagging an impossible restaurant reservation, organizing a horsedrawn carriage ride to dinner in a yurt, or bringing new ski boots out to the mountain when yours don’t fit, they will do anything to make your stay special. Rob and Rachel’s team is comprised of only full-time, local employees who are dedicated to providing a genuine, authentic experience. They know the trails, have the best restaurant recommendations, and truly make you feel at home. They’re focused on doing one thing and doing it well – top-notch customer service and genuine hospitality. And while their ever-growing 50-person team manages 150 luxury properties in Park City (with even more in their additional locations), Abode continues to operate as an old-fashioned mom-and-pop shop. Their focus, dedication, and love for their mountain community come through in everything they do, leaving an impact on every guest and owner. Thank you for your partnership and welcome to the collection!
